We had an ocean vacing room which has a beautiful view of the ocean. The rooms are a little old but clean. The restaurant has a great view of the beach/Ocean. Staff are helpful, friendly and polite. Breakfast was very nice, with lots of selections. The grounds are well maintained and have a lot old baobab trees.

Loved the beach front Rooms and the staff were great. Enjoyed the food too but mostly enjoyed the quiet and amazing views from the room plus was lucky enough to see the moon rise beyond the ocean line during dinner outside

A great place to stay

This was a very nice place to stay. Clean with friendly and helpful staff. Very good food and close to the beach. The only negative thing was that we sometimes had warm water and sometimes not. But overall, very satisfied and we are coming back.

6/10 Good

It is a good property with an excellent location. The property sits right on the beach so the rooms directly face the sea and beach. One can simply step out of the room into the beach. Be mindful that it is not a private beach but the hotel's position is such that there are no outsiders in the beach. The rooms are basic and have air-conditioners. Having said that, the water pressure in the bathroom is very low so one can't have a good shower. On top of it, the tap and shower water is salty so those who allergies, kindly refrain. The hotel has one restaurant with a limited menu. The buffet breakfast is good with a wide spread. For local transport, Uber is easily available.

The property is absolutely NOT disability friendly at all. It was even impossible to get a cushion for the rattan patio chair outside of our room, despite repeated requests. This made the beautiful patio otherwise useless. The internet is completely useless as well. I’ve traveled the world, but cannot recommend this place. However, the staff is amazing.

Enjoyed my time at Jacaranda. There is a great amount of beach front with lots of seating. The staff was very friendly and the room was clean and spacious. The only negative was the WiFi was spotty in lots of places but this gave me a chance to disconnect. Would highly recommend this resort!

The room was tired. Bathroom was terrible. Furniture old and damaged. We had to call the plumber twice. The swimming pool was under repair so not available. Overall the staff are not much helpful. Not a 4 star hotel.

It was first time to stay at Jacarandas. We chose it to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, and we were very pleased. It came highly recommended by friends that have oftentimes stayed here. Staff was excellent, professional, and always helpful. We will continue to recommend and return ourselves.

War bereits mehrmals in diesem Hotel, welches mir vor allem wegen seiner Lage und den Top-Mitarbeitern gefällt. Erneuerungen sind im Gang. Zurzeit werden gerade die Pools restauriert.

I had a great time staying here and I'm definitely coming back to stay here, there's a little minor situation it's the rock that's in the water I wished they wasn't there, but overall it's a perfect get away for me

Die Lage dieses Resorts ist mit den vielen kleinen Villen einmalig. Da vergisst man gerne, dass es einige Investitionsmöglichkeiten gibt, um das Hotel noch besser zu machen

10/10 Exceptional

Hotellet var skønt og personalet flinke. Opbygningen af hotellet var eminent, det føltes slet ikke til at være særlig stort. Man kan måske diskutere om værelset egner sig til en ekstra opredning. Det blev meget crowded og myggenettet fungerede ikke rigtigt, men til prisen kan vi bestemt ikke klage!!

2/10 Poor

Unico aspetto positivo l'aspetto esteriore della struttura. Camere vecchie e pulizia quasi assente, tappeti sporchi, doccia incrostata di calcare, asciugamani logore e cuscini impolverati. Il cibo senza infamia ne luce lode, in 3 giorni ci sono state proposte sempre le solite cose. Area piscina carina ma credo che bisogna rispettare chi voglia rilassarsi e non permette alle persone di giocare col pallone, colpendoti ripetutamente. La spiaggia é molto carina ma andrebbe pulita, plastica e mozziconi di sigaretta ovunque. Ultima nota decisamente negativa, il personale delle pulizie ha aperto i nostri bagagli, rubando dei soldi. Il personale non ci é sembrato dare la giusta importanza all'episodio e il manager completamente irreperibile.

Wir waren bereits zum 2. Mal in diesem paradiesischen Resort. Wie fast in jedem Hotel am Diani Beach wären auch hier einige Sanierungen notwendig. Aber die Lage der Villen am Strand ist einfach unschlagbar und machen das Defizit in den Badezimmern wett. Wenn Diani, dann Jacaranda.

Super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis

Wir kennen schon einige Hotels am Diani Beach. Dieses Hotel wurde uns während einer Golfrunde auf dem Diamonds Golfplatz als Geheimtipp empfohlen. Und wir geben diese Empfehlung gerne weiter. Sicher hat auch dieses Resort einige Sanierungsaktivitäten nötig. Die kleinen Villen direkt am Strand sind jedoch wahre einfache Schmuckstücke. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und das Essen ist absolut gut. Wir kommen wieder…
